Chapter 158 Leaving the Manor
As soon as Huo Yuchen and Lin Pianran walked out of the hall, they saw a group of beautiful girls outside, and they could not hide the joy on their faces.
Every abducted girl is naturally very happy to have the opportunity to escape from the den of thieves.
At this time, a woman with a very good appearance and very good clothes walked out from the crowd. She quickly rushed to Huo Yuchen, bowed gracefully, and called softly, "Crown Prince, cousin, you came to save me, it's so great..."
Huo Yuchen looked at the woman coldly, and for a moment he couldn't remember who this person was.
Seeing Huo Yuchen's expression, the young girl quickly added, "Your Highness, I am Feng Chengxue. My uncle is Duke Song, Su Zhaoping, and my mother is Duke Song's sister, Song Liangyu. I am the legitimate daughter of the Rongchang Marquis's mansion. I used to often go to the Duke Song's mansion to play with Princess Baoqing, and I have even met Your Highness two or three times!"
After hearing this, Huo Yuchen still had a blank expression on his face, with a look of indifference, "I don't know you, so don't try to be a relative. Don't call me cousin the prince anymore..."
Being spoken to so harshly in person, Feng Chengxue's face turned pale and blue. She seemed to have suffered a great injustice. Her body swayed weakly and her eyes immediately became red.
But no one paid any attention to her.
Jingyu stepped forward and said calmly, "Miss Feng, please return to the team quickly. We are about to set off! If you don't want to leave, you can stay..."
Feng Chengxue was afraid that she was really abandoned, so she quickly returned to the team and dared not make trouble again.
Jingyun looked at the girls and said calmly, "Now, we must leave this manor quickly. Everyone, please follow closely on the road and don't fall behind. Otherwise, when those men in black who kidnapped you come back, it won't be so easy for you to leave here..."
All the girls were on edge, looking quite nervous, and nodded in agreement.
Who doesn’t want to leave this devil’s den!
The team quickly started walking outside along the same route they came from.
The journey was quite smooth and they did not encounter any men in black who might come back to attack them. The girls were afraid of being caught again, so they cooperated very well and tried their best to keep up with the team and move forward quickly. They soon got out of the miasma forest.
After going out, he soon reunited with the eldest princess, Wang Fanghua and their group.
When the princess saw Huo Yuchen, she was so excited that she almost cried. She thought her brother must be in danger this time and was very nervous.
But I didn't expect that everyone came back safe and sound, and more than a hundred abducted girls were rescued. It was really a surprise.
When she heard that Huo Yuchen and the others were able to escape from danger thanks to Lin Pianran's timely rescue, her admiration for Lin Pianran became even stronger, and she regarded her as the most powerful idol in her mind.
After the team reunited, everyone started walking out of the canyon.
On the way, Huo Yuchen felt sorry for Lin Pianran because she was too tired, so he suggested, "Pianran, can I carry you on my back?"
Lin Pianran was a little shy. She said stubbornly, "I can do it myself. You don't need to carry me."
"Seeing you gasping for breath from exhaustion, my heart aches!"
Lin Pianran still firmly disagreed. After all, Huo Yuchen was the crown prince of a country. How could it be disgraceful to ask him to carry him on his back?
But Huo Yuchen kept insisting, "You don't let me carry you, do you dislike me?"
"Besides, we have an imperial decree to marry, so what can others say?"
To be honest, Lin Pianran was really tired these days. Finally, she could not resist Huo Yuchen's repeated requests and had to agree.
When leaving the canyon, Lin Pianran was carried on Huo Yuchen's back.
Huo Yuchen was an excellent master of lightness skills. With a few jumps, he passed through the steep canyon like a gust of wind.
The others could only move slowly, bit by bit.
Feng Chengxue, who was in the crowd, saw Huo Yuchen, who had never been interested in women, treating Lin Pianran like a treasure, and her eyes turned red with jealousy.
She has always admired His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but her mother has always been against it because of his poor health.
Now it seems that the prince's health has improved a lot, so, can she have many extravagant hopes?
She really didn't expect that during a hunting trip, the emperor would actually arrange a marriage for the Crown Prince, and the woman was an unknown one.
What’s the use of Lin Pianran having a pretty appearance?
How could it be easy for a woman without any background or status to secure the position of Crown Princess?
It's just a fool's dream!
After returning to the capital, she must find a way to gain the support of her uncle and mother, and must marry into the Eastern Palace as soon as possible to seize the initiative and never let Lin Pianran monopolize the favor of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince...
With his thoughts in a mess and his mind wandering, Feng Chengxue quickly fell to the end of the team.
Jing Yu walked over and said unhappily, "Ms. Feng, if you slow down any further, we'll have no choice but to leave you behind. We can't let the entire team's progress be delayed just because of you, right?"
Feng Chengxue was so angry that she had nowhere to vent her anger. Unexpectedly, Jing Yu bumped into her again. She cursed angrily, "Who are you? How dare you talk to me like that? My aunt is the prince's biological aunt..."
Jingyu had long discovered that Feng Chengxue had been staring at their young lady with ill intentions and had not tolerated her at all.
He immediately retorted, "The Crown Prince is the sovereign, and you are a subject. Don't claim kinship randomly. Only when the Crown Prince acknowledges you are you a relative. If he doesn't, then do your duty as a subject and don't try to climb higher. Otherwise, if you accidentally fall to your death, you'll deserve it!"
"you......"
"I'm telling the truth. Even the Duke of Song's Mansion doesn't dare to make random comments. What kind of person is your Rongchang Marquis Mansion? It's best to put yourself in the right place and recognize your identity..."
Feng Chengxue's face turned pale.
When had she ever suffered such injustice?
She was so angry that she yelled, "Little bitch, I will let my uncle deal with you! Just wait for me!..."
Unexpectedly, Jingyu did not give in at all and said firmly, "Okay, I'll wait! Let's see what you can do to me."
Although Feng Chengxue was so angry that she almost went crazy, she didn't dare to fall behind, for fear that if she was really abandoned, her life and death would not be in her own hands.
That is absolutely not allowed!
Along the way, everyone supported each other, crossed the canyon, and finally returned outside.
There were still pitiful refugees everywhere outside, and it was still an extremely miserable scene.
Just after walking out of the canyon and setting out on the road back to Beijing, Jingfeng and his group also came to find us.
The fifty Black Cloud Guards he led lost contact for two or three days and finally returned.
More than a dozen of them suffered minor injuries, and their overall condition was still okay, but they had very little food left.
